Of course, if you are an abuser with some power, you might encourage investigations into baseless claims, since negative results will serve to discourage others from reporting you, and the investigatory apparatus from following up on any reports.

Sadly, I don’t think they need/needed to bother. The establishment was/is only too happy to look the other way.
